<p>Always get the hard copy of the results, and double check those,</p>
<p> "edumucated" people can read the decimals wrong. </p>
<p>Additionally in my case, I was given results from a different patient.</p>

<p>for letting us know about the EORTC 22911 trial report. Will discuss this with my oncologist in December. I am presently on the RADICALS trial for pt3, randomized for no further treatment until relapse. Psa is currently &lt;.1 and I am 11mnths post surgery</p>
<p>She tells me that they do not know that adjuvant carries an advantage over deffered and this is the whole reason for the radicals trial. This is not really adding up for me. Also, I am told that about 40% of men with a psa that has risen but has remained below .2ng will not progress further and that this is why she beleives ultra sensitive testing does not provide evidence of definite recurrence.</p>
<p>Am I dreaming? Why are they bothering to do this trial if all the evidence from previous trials have demonstrated a significant advantage to adjuvant radiation. And what about her comments on the psa?</p>

<p>Jeff:<br />
Considering the clinical pre surgical factors this is as good as could be expected. I hope his healing has continued and continence regained. I have not looked into prior posts from you. Radiation is an expected outcome for such men. Lots of research supports it, and soon.<br />
See: SWOG 8794, original report and the later follow up reports.<br />
also EORTC 22911 just came out this week.</p>
